The opinion

HAMILTON, Circuit Judge,

concurring in the judgment:

Because Part I of the majority opinion, with which I am in complete accord, adequately disposes of the matter, I would not reach the Tenth Amendment analysis. Accordingly, I concur in Part I of the majority opinion and in the judgment of the court.

Judge Ervin has joined this opinion.
